by lawsonjeff @ 2006-05-30 - 16:12:50

Paris Hilton boycotted the Cannes premiere of her new movie after a fight with the producers.

The socialite was furious after discovering "National Lampoon's Pledge This!" filmmakers had added nudity to the movie without checking with her first.

She says, "I'm angry that they edited the final cut without my permission.

"I took the part on the assurance I wouldn't do any nudity. I wanted to do something where I'd be taken seriously, and they added a load of scenes with naked girls.

"I was so angry I snubbed my own premiere."

In other Hilton news, she has revealed to the Hong Kong magazine Prestige that her debut album will be a mixture of reggae pop and hip-hop.

Hilton's first single will be a reggae track called "Stars Are Blind" and the album will also include a cover version of Rod Stewart's "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?"

But she claims she has personally written the lyrics for seven songs that will appear on the CD.

She says, "The whole album has so much different music on it. I like all music. It's not like I only like pop or only rock. I want to have something for everybody."

We're not exactly sure what K-Fed does for a living (backup dancer? rapper?), but apparently he feels secure enough with his place in life to offer career advice to the paparazzi.

Mr. Spears was in Sherman Oaks yesterday afternoon with a couple of pals when one cameraman asked Federline, "Are you angry at the media?"

K-Fed first responded by making a "Shhhhhh" motion and then offered up, "Just take pictures, dude."

Federline and his pals then quickly headed into an apartment building.

Kate Moss To Star Opposite Johnny Depp

by lawsonjeff @ 2006-05-30 - 15:58:34

Depp has signed up to star as Michael Hutchence in a film about the INXS frontman’s life and death, Moss is currently in talks to play Hutchence’s doomed girlfriend Paula Yates.

Moss and Depp were together for three years but split in 1997, however, Depp was keen to reassure producers that he and Moss were now friends.

An insider told the Daily Express: "Johnny was asked if it would be a deal breaker for him if Kate was cast.

"He said, 'Not as far as I'm concerned.' He figures there's been enough water under that bridge.

"Obviously he's (director Nick Egan) hoping there's still enough chemistry between them that will translate to the screen. It has been claimed she never got over him and in the film they'll have to appear deeply in love."

Whether Ms Moss will actually appear in the film is yet to be decided.

Sharon Osbourne has kicked off a new spat

by lawsonjeff @ 2006-05-30 - 15:54:34

Sharon Osbourne has kicked off a new spat, live on air.

She threw some serious mud at Rebecca Loos in her capacity as judge on the new celebrity X Factor.

Rebecca was performing with fellow kiss 'n' teller James Hewitt.

The pair performed Robert Palmer's Addicted To Love - and without a hint of a smile, Sharon told them it was a great song choice and they were well suited to each other.

Turning to James, she asked: "You were in the army? With that performance you should be shot."

Then, rounding on Rebecca, she added: "If you get through tonight you should try doing tomorrow night's show with your knickers on. It will help warm up your voice."

When Simon Cowell - of all people - tried to get Sharon to stop, she went on to say that Rebecca had a "bad vibe" coming from her.

Rebecca, for her part, claimed she wasn't surprised by Sharon's comments, saying that she'd shunned the former PA throughout the show.

The reason for Sharon's blast?

James has told all about his affair with Diana, Princess Of Wales, whilst Rebecca alleges an affair with David Beckham - and Shazza is great mates with one Victoria Beckham.

But clearly Sharon's wrath wasn't enough to get the pair booted off X Factor: Battle Of The Stars.

That honour went to magician Paul Daniels and wife Debbie McGee who caterwauled along to Robbie Williams' Let Me Entertain You.

Bellucci reportedly to play Sonia Gandhi

by lawsonjeff @ 2006-05-30 - 15:35:07

Italian actress Monica Bellucci has agreed to star in a film about Sonia Gandhi, the Italian-born woman who married into India's most powerful political dynasty and now heads the country's ruling party, a newspaper reported Tuesday.

Bellucci's deal was worked out at the Cannes Film Festival, the Times of India reported, quoting producer Sunanda Murli Manohar, who said the actress agreed to take on the role after reading the script.

"Her confirmation finally puts a seal on the deal. She is excited about the prospect of playing Sonia Gandhi," Manohar was quoted as saying. Shooting is expected to begin in September.

Italian-born Gandhi has cultivated an image as an intensely private woman who was forced into politics after her husband, former Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, was assassinated in a 1991 suicide bombing.

His mother Indira Gandhi — the country's longest-serving prime minister — also was assassinated, and his grandfather Jawaharlal Nehru was India's first prime minister.

Sonia Gandhi refused the prime minister's job when her Congress party and its allies won elections in May 2004 because of opposition from Hindu nationalists, who argued that a person of non-Indian heritage should not lead the country.

Still, she remains at the helm of the Congress party and wields a tremendous amount of power.

The movie will be directed by Jagmohan Mundhra, a well-known Indian filmmaker with several award winning movies to his credit.

Mundhra's latest film "Provoked" was screened at Cannes. Bollywood superstar
Aishwarya Rai played the lead role of a woman who kills her husband after suffering 10 years of abuse.

Mundhra told The Times that he had also considered Rai and Preity Zinta, another Bollywood leading lady, for the Gandhi project.

Neither the filmmakers nor Bellucci were immediately available for comment.

Keira's Knight Off

by lawsonjeff @ 2006-05-30 - 15:15:34

Keira Knightley left clubbers aghast when she shunned a club's VIP room to disco dance by the lav. Keira moved her party of 10 - including boyfriend Rupert Friend - from the celeb section of London's Paper club to a spot outside the loos. But not before knocking back several green tequila shots, we're told. That explains it... Our spy said: "People kept doing double-takes as they came out - but Keira just smiled as if it was nothing out of the ordinary. She was so smashed when she left at 3.30am she hid her face under a woolly beanie." With a vacant stare, presumably.
